Answer:
MgBr2
Explanation:
(Mg^2+) + (Br^1-)
For every Mg we need 2 Br to balance out the compound.
13.6
a) yes Pb is more reactive that Ag, Pb before Ag
b) no, Cu after H
c) yes, Cl2 is more active than I2
4) yes, Mg is more active
13.7 (as I think)
Al ³⁺ more active than Zn²⁺, Mn can react with Zn²⁺, but not with Al ³⁺ , because Mn after Al but before Zn
The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons and become ions. Ions are charged particles that have gained or lost electrons. The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons to form monatomic ions (made from a single atom of an element).
Answer:
A) An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.
Explanation:
D) Ionic compounds have high melting points causing them to be solid at room temperature, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have low melting points and many are liquids or gases at room temperature.
C) An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.
A) Covalent bonds are stronger if you compare with ionic molecules, because their molecular orbital overlap is bigger. However, ionic molecules form lattices, thus the energy to break this lattice bond is stronger hence the ionic bond is stronger.
